At EVO 2014, Bandai Namco's Katsuhiro Harada, officially said Tekken 7 is in development, confirming the leak that happened earlier in the day.

Harada showed a short teaser trailer for the game and that more information would be coming July 25, 2014, at San Diego Comic-Con.

The trailer opens with with a view of Heihachi's residence (subsequently Jin's in Tekken 5), the Mishima estate, and shows a woman named Kazumi, who's heavily implied to be Kazuya's mother/Heihachi's lover.

What's even more curious about Harada's announcement is that Tekken 7 was not originally going to be the game he was planning to reveal today.

The Tekken series producer and game director suggested that the original plan was to reveal one of the other unannounced titles he had been working on, but that since the news about Tekken 7 had been leaked, he had to change it to this one.

Harada also said that he did not have a trailer prepared for Tekken 7, and had to run back to his hotel to prepare something from the footage he had this very morning, when he woke up to news of the leak.

You can view the trailer for yourself below.

There's a quick glimpse of what appears to be Devil Jin in the trailer, here's a screen capture.

he said that this was not the game that was intended to be announced. he then does on to say there are 2 more games coming, reveals T7 then goes away.

why didnt he reveal the game he was meant to show? so annoying. especially if it was TxSF which the crowd would have wanted. he better announce it before the grand finals.

i think Harada-san is thinking he's only allowed to announce one game, and since Tekken 7 was leaked, it had to be that one.... Or maybe he's doing this because he's mad at his own fans or something... i dunno.... i just really want to see TxSF as soon as possible. if this is all we get, then it feels like a huge letdown.

I'm extremely fking pissed off. Harada clearly said that Tekken 7 was NOT the game that he was going to reveal. We all just got fked out of a TxSF trailer/update. Why else would he schedule the announcement before the SF finals.

So fking annoyed that the leak has fcked us over after this long of a wait, evo is the perfect chance to reveal it.

no, it didn't. Don't be naive. You weren't get another game, like Harada said. You were getting Tekken 7.

It was a shi*** move by Harada because it got me hyped for TxSF.

Well whatever. Currently my hype meter is at 0, and this series used to be my favorite fighting game series.

Drop every shi*** mechanic introduced in tekken 6 and I might give it another try. Drop bound, rage, ridiculous wall carries (hell make every stage an infinite stage or atleast make it impossible to do wall combos. You put them in the corner and that's it) and drop half the roster. Focus on mechanics. Not clone characters.

Makes you wonder what that other announcement was. Harada probably threw this out as damage control to salvage whatever hype a T7 reveal would generate. Hate leaks, but oh well finally a new main series Tekken game.

I'm pretty curious about Tekken 7, it is pretty cool to see Kazumi (part of her voice sounds a little similar, but I can't think). But what does worry Me was when Kazuya was speaking in English, I really don't like this voice (It might be similar SFXT or DOA English Dub, since I'm not a fan of English Dubs since most English Actors sometimes would just ruin the characters. I don't have much problem with English Voices. I just think English Voices are meant for characters like Paul, Marshall, Forest, Julia, Michelle, Bryan, Bruce etc.).

For Tekken-wise, I'd prefer characters to speak specific languages based on what country (even if characters that are from that country example Lars is from Sweden but still speaks Japanese).

Like a couple of people, I would've prefer to see TXSF. But I wouldn't cry about it, I would love to see how Tekken 7 will become for story, gameplay, & content. (despite questionable voice, My hype isn't dead for Tekken)

PS. If Tekken decides to have different voices for certain characters, I would hope to see something similar to MVC3 & SFXT voice options so I can pick between English or Japanese.

It ain't gonna end, bro. "Final" can reference plenty of things. At the very worst, Tekken will have a spiritual successor. But honestly, that ain't gonna happen. Tekken is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too popular, long standing and successful.

All I care about seeing is the game play. I want to see if it's smooth this time around and not too stiff and clunky. I also hope this game doesn't disappoint fans like DOA5 did, MVC3 and etc. DOA5 has the worst DLC characters in fighting game history, all Tekken need to fix is the clunky stiff style and after that's done DOA5 or any other DOA game with lots of disappointment is no longer relevant for me. I'm guessing Tekken 7 will also have some interactivity with the environment, possibly better than DOA5u

I respect the fact that he didn't act like we were all stupid like other VG companies have with leaks. Totally played off of our seeing it, ha. I for one was never deep into the Tekken series so I was hoping for a TxSF twist tonight. Regardless, only a mere 11 days before SDCC news.

I believe Comic Con is where Txsf is going to be announced . Where are most crossover from? Comics! Harada showed a short teaser trailer of Tekken 7 at evo and said when he walked on stage he is working on 3 new fighting game and has 3 announcement. But he wanted to show us something eles beside tekken7 Because it was leak he just went with it ! July 25, 2014, is San Diego Comic Con.who knows what will happen .....

Yeah for me personally I always enjoyed all of Tekkens storyline. Even back in t3 days when most intro and outro videos were jokes they were still solid stotylines. Once Dark Resurrection came around they really started to develop the Mishima storyline heavily and it's all been good stuff. I would almost classify it as a anime fighter. Looking forward to the official origin of the Mishima family.

Yes they show Kazuya with the rocks lifting off the ground as he powers up, but the silhouette Heihachi is facing off with looks like Jin and the picture EH has below the video is absolutely devil jin. I mean they are all going to be in the game either way let's be real here Harada only adds more characters, never removes any old ones.

Screw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!All because of ign we didn't get the real news that was suppose to come out.And i don't want to sound presumptuous, but given the fact that he said he be joined by ono,makes me believe it was TKxSf. All because ign wanted some recognition.(yes i assume that too)

I don't think its the last tekken game...its probably to say the final battle betweenthe mishimas' . maybe Heihachi will finally be killed by kazuya or vice versa. In any scenerio the mishima conflict is coming to an end. After this we might get a time jump like we did with tekken 2 into tekken 3 where Jin was introduce. I'm thinking Heihachi will be defeated for good. Leaving only the devils Kazuya and Jin to continue the blood feud of the mishimas'...and if the next tekkenis a time skip maybe it will be a battle between kazuya jin and Jin's son/daughter. Whatever the case things are coming to an end far as kazuya and heihachi's long going feud.

No they don't doodoo head. Marie Rose, Phase 4, and NyoTengu are awesome and are incredibly fun and interesting. Don't try to use your stupid biased opinion as if it is a fact.

Why is it because all of them are girls that makes you think they are disappointing? If so then you are a sexist piece of horse manure.

It is sad how fake DOA fans who would try to bash the game like you exist, kick rocks loser!!!!

Hmmm well that trailer was pretty rubbish I like the idea of showing Kazuyas mother but TBH I dont play Tekken for the story and while its better than the frankly terribad SF stories its not exactly something I look forward to like I would in say Persona 4 Arena, Blazblue or MK.

Need to see some gameplay before I get interested. I loved Tekken 2 and was so hype for Tekken 3 but when it came it dissapointed me and I sorta just stopped playing entirely around Tekken 5, maybe I will get back in with 7.

I just want them to announce a new SC game one with a decent roster, expanded create a soul feature good single player offering coupled with a good online vs offering. Oh and kill Lost Swords that game is an abomination if they make money off that then there is no justice.

if this is the last tekken game then street fighter will torture and reign countless crappy games unless ed boon continues to throw us mortal kombat and injustice games our way to stop much madness but I doubt tekken 7 is the last game.

well...he didn't say he would be 'joined' by him, but it was announced that ono would suspiciously be making an appearance at the same time as him, just like when ono announced sfxt http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/ju...

If Tekken is stiff and clunky for you then you need to practice some more. Tekken is one of the smoothest fighting games out there, you can cancel movement any way you want. Watch JDCR or any top Korean player and tell me the game is "clunky".

I do hope its really the case. Because part of TXSF was suppose to be in development after TTT2, and he was involved with a couple of other projects to a point where there has been no news for TXSF other than that "TXSF is not dead."

I'm not that disappointed that Tekken 7 has been announced.

My only guess for the 3rd game (if its possibly true) was the Pokken Game (which is Pokémon game that will use gameplay similar to the Tekken games). But the real answers to find out is Comic Con 14.

@Dimensional

Even if you want a new SC game, Project Soul is still responsible for their own game. Part of Project Soul's comments "It might be a little bit of a cop-out answer, but we are trying to target everyone—old fans and new players alike. We definitely value our player base and we want to maintain the quality of the SoulCalibur franchise, but at the same time, this game is definitely catered towards an audience who will experience the franchise for the first time."

But to be quite honest neither SCV nor SC Lost Swords (which I think Lost Swords is an ok game, but no where great nor solid) is going to be doing any justice for fans who enjoy SE-SCIV (especially people who hate SCV or Lost Swords due part of moves or mechanics changed just for casuals to get into).

By all means, don't really expect much if a new SC game was ever made or if their quality going to do great especially rushed SCV to the point that certain content got scrapped, they don't give their own game enough support to the point of lasting long. (unlike other developers) PS. SC Lost Swords is likely going to make millions.

well...he didn't say he would be 'joined' by him, but it was announced that ono would suspiciously be making an appearance at the same time as him, just like when ono announced sfxt http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/ju...

His appearance was at the same time period as Ono because all major announcements come before the main game starts (highest viewership) and because Ono is always there every year to support the game he developed and promoted.

Eventhub's reaching as usual made people think it was a TxSF reveal when reading and common sense indicated otherwise.

1 new moves for all fighters please no more same moves from past tekken games.2 remove the bound system it was a good idea but its forceful to do that get big damage combos maybe something new.3 no clone fighters im sick of all the clones remove them.4 get rid of the joke fighters i want a serious tekken game this time.5 do not bring dead fighters back when they already dead bring them back as parts or numbers like a king etc they should not be in tekken if it be a tag game or cross over.6 better soundtrack tekken 6 and tag 2 has the worst soundtrack ever tekken 6 music was ok but leave the dub step music alone or make remixes of there old theme songs.7 bring back tekken tunes best thing happen to fighting games.8 where the hell is my Michelle Chang and jun kazama bring them back.9 better story mode tekken 6 have the worst campaign ever no more running just arcade style.10 better online experience better net code make a ranked lobby and check they top fighters they played do something new whatever.

So basically what you are telling me is that, because Tekken 7 was leaked by IGN we got stiffed on the Evo 2014 reveal of Tekken x Street Fighter. Maaaaaaaan, that's sooooo messed up. This is what I'm talking about people need to quit leaking stuff. This ruins a lot of things for devs, fans and people over all.
